Fishing at Round Lake

On Friday, Brice took the boys to Round Lake to go fishing. The lake was frozen over, but has recently "defrosted" so it was the first time they've been able to fish (without trying their hand at ice-fishing) since Christmas.

I was out of town on a business trip to San Jose, so Brice had the boys all to himself. To make use of the "boys time" Brice loaded Mazzy into the backpack, packed some fishing gear, and herded-up Landin, Ryder, Potter and Einstein for the walk down to the lake.

The crew spent a few hours playing at the lake and only Landin came close to catching a fish (which bit his line but managed to jump off right as Landin pulled him from the water). Brice actually nabbed "the big one" - - unfortunately, this "big one" wasn't a fish, but rather our big German Sheppard, Potter. In an attempt to cast his line way out into Round Lake, Brice snagged his hook on poor Potter's tail. (OUCH!) Brice managed to unhook the line from Potter, but that signaled the end of the trip, and the boys headed home.

When I called to check on the boys from the airport I heard the tale of Potter's fishing accident, which turned out to be the most exciting thing that happened during the fishing adventure... better luck next time!
